Abstract
The efficacy and selectivity of seven herbicide treatments in alfalfa were detertmined. Based on fresh weight the best weed control was obtained with clethodim + 2,4- DB applied after the first alfalfa; the least effective was 2,4- DB.For grass weed control the best herbicide was clethodim,followed by fluzifop- p- butyl and quizalofop- p- ethyl. Fluzifop- p- butyl + 2,4- DB and fluzifop- p- butyl + bentazon had a significant effect on the yield of the second alfalfa harvest. Fluzifop- p- butyl + bentazon was the best herbicide treatment in terms of weeds fresh weight reduction when applied after the second crop harvest. Clethodim,fluzifop- p- butyl and quizalofop- p- ethyl also provided satisfactory control that ranged between 86% and 100%. 2,4- DB applied alone or mixed with other herbicides significantly reduced alfalfa yield at the third harvest. Stem and fresh weight control of broadleaf weeds was above 67%,when 2,4- DB and bentazon were applied alone or mixed with other herbicides.
